It was pretty obvious.
'Course this was also a bolt action, but as to neck splitting away, well, I've got the T-shirt...
Cool - never seen a neck separate and that's good info, thanks.
Montana's technique with manual loading and simulating the bolt by pressing lightly with the finger is a good check. I do that with 9mm handgun; take the barrel out and use it as a rifle gauge with the thumb. The deal being that the Glock chamber is a bigger than 9mm SAAMI so you can load prouder ammo than off-the-shelf case gauges. I admit though, I have not been doing that with Grendel and I should.
